Question

Is it suitable to administer another dose of the sugar pill 15 days after the baby has been vaccinated?

Answer

According to the vaccination protocol, the oral polio vaccine (sugar pill) is typically administered to babies starting at 2 months of age, with intervals between doses greater than or equal to 28 days, and a total of three doses. A booster dose is required at 4 years old. If the baby does not experience severe symptoms such as fever, vomiting, or diarrhea after receiving the sugar pill, and only shows minor reactions like rashes occasionally, there is usually no need to worry. Parents should remember the vaccination schedule to ensure the vaccine’s optimal effectiveness.
